This is to make you feel better when you're under the weather. Turmeric + raw honey + Himalayan sea salt for wellness. Coconut + chai spices for taste. It's delicious and theoretically nourishing and that's about all I have to say about it. Here are some pictures to further entice you where my words, I suspect, will fall short this evening. Now excuse me while I go give my neti pot some exercise. (What? That didn't make you all hungry?)
Oh wait. One more thing. Don't leave this to simmer unwatched.
A mess like this is the last thing you want to deal with when you and your children are all sharing a cold.
P.S. Good news: this post was a few days in the making and we are well now. Elixir indeed.
